Tallulah, Who was named after a Waterfall and has spent nearly half a century Imitating a tornado, was to take the stand as a state witness late today or tomorrow morning, depending on the trial’s progress. ; ‘.. Mrs. Cronin, formerly the stage and radio star’s secretary and personal maid, was charged with stealing >4,284.60 between Oct. 8, 1048 and April 11, 1969, by raising the amounts of checks which Miss Bankhead signed for ’’incidental exPeuses/’ District attorney Frank S. Dogan at the time of Mrs. Cronin’s indictment last January said the actress had been swindled out of more than SIO,OOO by the check kiting. The indictment covered only the alleged larcenies taking place in New York county. Miss Bankhead and her attorney, Donald R. Seawell, said they believed the amount was more like $20,000 altogether. At Mrs. Cronin’s arraignment, her attorney said the checks for incidental expenses were “used to pay for cocaine, marihuana, liquor, boose, whisky, champagne, and sex/’ Tallulah later retorted that her life was an open book, that everyone kkpew ®he took a drink, that on her honor “as a Bankhead from

Winfred L. 43erke, chairman of the county PMA committee, ex plains that the funds appropriated to assist farmers cooperating in the ACP program are on a yeafr-by-year basis. This means that to ‘qualify for payments under the 1951 ACP program, soil conserva tion practices must be completed within the program year, which ends December 31. Gerke also reminds farmers that it is necessary to present evidence of- conservation tbMthe county office, in order to be eligible to receive payments. He also urges farmers who signed a farm plan in the spring and did not carry out any practices to report this to the county office in order that records for tlie farm may be completed. ( \ ’

Homenakißg Tip* z by Anna K. Williams 1 Honie Demonstration Agent Moist Tree The most practical, satisfactory and convenient way to keep the Christmas tree fresh, greet? and resistant tb firb, is to! select a fresh tree and then keep It in water. A fresh, moist' tree actually is difficult to burn and is easily kept so all during the holidays. One way to test for freshness before buying is to shake the. tree to see if any needles fall. If so, the tree already? is dry and will soon lose its lookb and become a nuisance in ths house. Also, if it is too old, it will not be able to draw up water. A fresh tree that] is, given water will keep its color and fragrance and look alive. As soon as the tree is brought bomb, throw water all over it. Then cu,t about an inch oft the butt end, slantwise to open the pores for drawing up water. Set the freshly cut end promptly in waler and keep the tree in a cool shady place until it comes indoors for trimming. To hold the tree in water, a crosswise rack may be fitted over a pail or other container, concealed by a cover of metal foil. Small stones or brick pieces in the container give weight and support so the tree won’t topple, Add water daily, because a 5 of 6-foot tree can take’ up asbgnuch as a cup a day. Every needle gives off metnure ip the warm dry'afr of Ifth, house and the tree must; replace this moisture to keep fresh. The mofe moisture, the more fragrance. For /safety, set the tree away from radiator, fireplace, stove, candies, hot light bulbs, of the television set—also out of entranceways or the line of traffic for Christmas visitors. Most'* Christmas tree shoppers want , a symmetrical tree with branches even all around, but a flj’-sided tree -which may not look so attractive outdoors —may be moie convenient and better suited /to a small room because it will fit against a wall or into a corner.Such a tree usuany sells for less

than one of perfect shape. J> ' Preaa Seams Before Adding New Btitchee Pressing each seam before another line of stitching is sewn across it is an essential step in making a finished dress With a professional Icok. As an example, shoulder darts should be pressed before the shoulder seams are put together. . j The pressing equipment should be ready near the'Sewing machine before beginning to sew. To save frequent heating of the Iron, plan stitching' so as to press several parts at one time. The Original Appearance of the fabric should be retained after pressing; so the iron should not > touch the fabric. All pressing should be done from the wrong side of the garment. Chemically treated pressing cloths, available at notion departments, may be used for a neat flat seam, Faille, bengaline, and gabardine have a tendency to become shiny after pressing. Two strips of heavy; brown wrapping paper may be cut
